A milestone marks a place from which one can look both forward and backward. It can signal an intention, a redress — a place to learn from and grow toward. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Through a series of arts-based workshops, we\u2019ll develop ideas with community members, and Red Dress Productions will present a pebble mosaic design and invite your feedback. In August and September, we\u2019ll build the pebble mosaic together, and on October 14, we\u2019ll unveil it. All workshops are free, and no experience is required. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Email<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0| Call:<\/span><\/span> 647-937-1470<\/span><\/span> | Blog<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0| URL<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0| Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0| Video<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We aim to offer barrier-free arts programming. <\/span><\/span>Please contact us if you have any access needs such as ASL interpretation or live\/audio description.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Since 2005, Red Dress Productions has created 15+ visual public artworks in Toronto, and across Ontario, working with 4000+ community members.
